Which fungi is this?

Hi, i found a new fungi that looks and taste edible. Do anybody know the scientific name please?

What is your geographic area and can you get a photo of this mushroom still alive?

May as well get a spore print from this sample if possible...

Shoehorn oyster would be a wild guess at this point.

Crepidotus?

Hi, i dont think it is shoehorn oyster because i have seen it grows in the soils. The one from the picture is very similar but it grow over trees.

I found these fungi in the rain forest in my.

Now im trying to  get its spore print , i didnt know about spore prints before, so if i did it ok soon im gonna post picture.


Cheers

Oysters typically grow on wood

Where is your rainforest? That makes id. much easier with that information...

Lentinellus cochleatus can look very similar and it grows directly on wood.

The shoehorn does tend to grow on the ground around decaying wood...

Aniseed Cockleshell (Lentinellus cochleatus)

Both mushrooms like dead wood wether it be on the ground or still intact...

It is very similar but i found little diffences, for example mine are not so round or curvy they look more flatish. Other thing i read about "Aniseed Cockleshell (Lentinellus cochleatus)" , are not so tasty ,  it is bitter and some say it is not edible (?). The ones i found i dont know if they are edible but they are not bitter at all and they are delicious.

Wow that is amazing place to live! I can only imagine the number of different mushrooms you can see there...

I think i found it .
I think it is Pleurotus pulmonarius or Pleurotus ostreatus or pleurotus populinus.

I think it is one of these three, i dunno which

.

Never know when you might find a new species, especially in the Amazon.

In fact 3 new species were recently found in a grocery store being sold as porcini. They were all edible.

Pleurotus pulmonarius -

Spores: White to greyish, 7.5-11 by 3-4 micrometers, smooth and cylindrically shaped.

You can buy all of these spores ($25) for a direct comparison under the microscope.
